Europe’s security planners are increasingly focused on the blurring line between conventional and nuclear missile forces along NATO’s eastern flank. Mobile missile systems that...

Air defenses are increasingly being shaped by the types of threats they face. Slow, propeller-driven drones are relatively easy to detect and engage once...

Robots have long struggled outside carefully controlled environments. While factory automation excels at repetitive, predefined tasks, even small changes in lighting, object position, or...

Modern military operations increasingly depend on seeing targets long before forces arrive on scene. High-risk missions, especially those involving special operations or politically sensitive...

Ground forces increasingly face small, fast-moving threats at close range—whether hostile personnel, light vehicles, or unmanned systems. Conventional weapons can address these risks, but...

Aerospace manufacturers rely heavily on titanium for critical components, thanks to its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion. However, aerospace-grade titanium is expensive, energy-intensive...

Modern conflicts no longer unfold solely on physical battlefields. Alongside kinetic strikes, digital infrastructure has become both a target and a weapon. The opening...

Robotic systems designed for remote or extreme environments face a consistent limitation: power. Movement alone can consume a significant portion of a robot’s energy,...

According to EU Startups, Irish startup Octostar has raised a €6.1 million seed extension for its sovereign AI intelligence platform. Founded in 2023, the...

Naval forces are increasingly looking for ways to extend reach and firepower without exposing crews to risk. Traditional vessels offer capability but come with...

As wireless networks evolve toward next-generation standards, they face growing challenges. Higher data rates, denser environments, and increasing interference make it harder to maintain...

Modern artillery systems are under growing pressure to operate faster, strike farther, and survive in increasingly transparent battlefields. Counter-battery radars, drones, and long-range surveillance...

We in iHLS are delighted to open the fifth cycle of our Security Accelerator. The new batch of startups was selected earlier this week...

Following a successful launch meeting, we are delighted to announce the beginning of the third batch cycle of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center program. The...

Vigor Medical is a graduate of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center operated by iHLS in collaboration with IMoD. This unique acceleration program removes entrance barriers to the...

Startup! This is your opportunity to get a $50K grant. If you are developing a groundbreaking technology we invite you to apply to INNOFENSE...

As high-power lasers move from experimental concepts to practical counter-drone tools, one technical bottleneck continues to slow progress: power. Directed-energy systems require fast, intense...

As vehicles grow more connected, their internal systems depend on a constant flow of data from sensors monitoring everything from temperature and tire pressure...

Modern fighter operations place growing cognitive and physical demands on pilots. High-speed engagements, dense sensor inputs, and operations at night or in poor weather...

Rapid deployment is a recurring challenge in emergency response and field operations. Whether setting up medical facilities after a natural disaster or assembling equipment...

Maritime collisions remain a stubborn and costly problem. Despite modern sensors and navigation aids, ships still strike offshore platforms, port infrastructure, and anchored vessels...

Supplying forces and communities in remote or high-altitude regions has always been a logistical challenge. Mountainous terrain, limited runways, harsh weather, and damaged infrastructure...
